Wink Re: Tykerb...Foods to Avoid?

There has been much discussion about the famous Tykerb side effect you have been experiencing. One thread is titled "Something that seems to work for diarrhea." Maybe you could try looking at that.
I would imagine that the same foods that work for general diarrhea might help. Toast, bananas, applesauce, rice etc. It might be good to stay away from fried and oily foods. Be sure to get enough liquids to replenish the liquids you are loosing with the diarrhea.
Your doctor may also be able to prescribe something for diarrhea.
Good luck with the Tykerb. I hope it works for you. Take good care of yourself.
